Iran becomes intransigent on the nuclear issue again.
Nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani said Iran would "pursue its own path" if the US and its allies "want to use force". He was speaking a day before the UN nuclear watchdog meets in Vienna. Western powers believe Iran wants to develop nuclear weapons, for which enrichment is a key process, but Tehran says its plans are for civilian energy. Mr Larijani told a news conference in Tehran: "If Iran's nuclear dossier is referred to the UN Security Council, [large-scale] uranium enrichment will be resumed.
The spectre of a new Middle East war is definitely haunting the world. We shall have to see how the chimp-in-chief and his mistress respond. Another round of bloodletting could well be in the offing.
